Chapter 52

Suddenly, he seemed to realize.

"I understand. The Prefect also disappeared for a period of time. This envoy was just about to ask you, why did you abandon your post and leave? Where did you go? Why did you come back?"

Su Yuanshan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He was most afraid of touching on this topic. He realized that he had been a bit careless. He said not to get carried away, but he still forgot a little!

Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly made up for it.

"Su doesn't know what happened either. It seems my body was out of control, and I have no impression in my mind afterward. What makes Su even more uneasy is that I actually don't remember the things from before."

The Sun-Roaming God pondered.

"Now that you mention it, this envoy also feels a bit strange. I didn't have much impression of you before. It seems everyone is the same. You seem to have no sense of existence at all. And I heard that you had a lonely personality and went your own way. You disappeared after only taking office for more than a month. Speaking of which, the only one who has truly seen you is Guangwang Shenjun himself. To be honest, the one who was most anxious after you disappeared was the Shenjun himself. He sent people to search everywhere, and it can be said that all the elites were sent out. Fortunately, you finally came back. It is not easy to be so valued by the Shenjun."

Hearing him say this, the civil and military judges, the Chicken God, the Dog God, and the day-patrolling and night-patrolling puppets seemed to realize.

I said why he is so extraordinary, it turns out he is a connection!

But Su Yuanshan couldn't be happy. If Guangwang Shenjun knew him, once they met, it would definitely be exposed. By then, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as "death."

If he wanted to never meet Guangwang Shenjun, that would be impossible. Meeting is certain, it's just a matter of time.

Why does Guangwang Shenjun value him so much, and what is his relationship with the real Nanzhou Town City God? I'm afraid I can only ask Guangwang Shenjun in person after meeting him.

But this is an unsolvable problem, because he doesn't want to meet Guangwang Shenjun at all.

Sigh!

Suddenly, he seemed to notice the sentence the Sun-Roaming God just said.

"By the way, what did the Divine Envoy mean just now when you said, 'The only one who has truly seen me is Guangwang Shenjun himself'?"

The Sun-Roaming God was stunned and shook his head with a sigh.

"It seems you really don't remember. According to the Shenjun himself, when he was patrolling that day, he passed by Nanzhou Town and met an innate spirit worshipped by the locals, which was you. He felt that you were a talent to be molded, so he straightened your position as a wild god and made you a Town City God. Unfortunately, you disappeared after only one month in office."

"Why, you really don't remember anything?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It would be better if I remembered!"

Everyone didn't doubt it upon hearing this, and then they saw the Sun-Roaming God smiling mysteriously again.

"Prefect, actually this envoy hasn't finished speaking yet. What I just said was only one joy, now there is another joy?"

Su Yuanshan was stunned and thought, another joy? There is another joy? I hope it's not a shock!

Then he saw the Sun-Roaming God smiling and saying.

"Guangwang Shenjun and Dongting Longjun are quite good friends. The Longjun has a daughter, whom he treats as the apple of his eye. She is virtuous, dignified, beautiful, and very gentle. He has been looking for a good talent as a son-in-law. Of course, with the wealth of the Dragon Palace, which is rich enough to rival a country, naturally, people are flocking to it. Unfortunately, none of them could catch the princess's eye. The Longmu is quite anxious, and the Longjun is also in a difficult position. When he was chatting with the Shenjun, he mentioned this matter, and the Shenjun recommended you. If I'm not mistaken, I guess it won't be long before Dongting Longjun sends someone to examine you. I hope you will prepare early, don't miss this heaven-sent marriage!"

What? Me? Heaven-sent marriage?

Su Yuanshan was completely stunned.

The gods and puppets congratulated him one after another upon hearing this.

"Congratulations to the Prefect for the great joy!"

"Congratulations to the Prefect for gaining a good marriage!"

"It seems it won't be long before you can marry the City God Grandma. It's really gratifying, haha!"

And Su Yuanshan, as the person involved, frowned and sighed, and could only comfort himself:

Fortunately, I am only one of the recommended candidates, they may not necessarily like me, why bother about this?

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Su Yuanshan didn't want to criticize people's good intentions, so he had to say.

"I didn't expect the Shenjun to be so thoughtful about Su's lifelong event. Su is very grateful. Please convey my thanks to the Shenjun."

The Sun-Roaming God laughed.

"That's natural! The Prefect is valued by the Shenjun and has an unlimited future."

"If there is nothing else, this envoy will take his leave."

Su Yuanshan led the gods and said in unison.

"Farewell to the Divine Envoy!"

The Sun-Roaming God nodded and was about to turn around when he seemed to remember something and said hesitantly.

"By the way, since Tushan County has been placed under your jurisdiction, you need to take over as soon as possible, so as not to change over time. Also..."

Seeing Su Yuanshan and the other gods looking at him, the Sun-Roaming God didn't want to say it, but finally hesitated and said.

"There is a rumor there that the city god turned into a ghost and cursed himself, but it is just a rumor spread by people with ulterior motives. You don't need to care."

"Farewell!"

The Sun-Roaming God and the two divine officials drove the mist away and disappeared into the mountains in the blink of an eye.

The military judge's surname is Zhai and his name is Burang. He was confused at the moment, his beard trembling, and he asked in a rough voice.

"Prefect, what did the Divine Envoy mean?"

Beside him, the civil judge Ji Wenqing stroked his three-stranded long beard and said with a solemn expression.

"This trip is probably unfavorable to the Prefect. I have also heard about the strange stories of Tushan County. The rumor of 'the city god turning into a ghost and cursing himself' has existed for a long time. Successive city gods have either died or gone crazy, and finally disappeared. It can be said to be a big mystery in Tushan County!"

Su Yuanshan frowned upon hearing this.

Successive city gods either died or went crazy? This is a bit serious? What is the Heavenly Court doing? Don't they care?

Seemingly responding to his question, the civil judge Ji Wenqing sighed and said.

"After the last great war, the turmoil has lasted for nearly ten thousand years. It is well known that the Heavenly Court is in disorder. The emperors are attacking each other, and the position of the Heavenly Emperor changes frequently. I heard that it is even more chaotic above than below us. They can't even take care of themselves, let alone take care of us!"

Su Yuanshan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he thought, my God, isn't it more chaotic above than the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in history?

"The emperor lost his deer, and the world chased it together!"

No wonder every time I am canonized and rewarded, it is not the Heavenly Court, but the local Underworld Fengdu Luoshan that seals and rewards on behalf of it!

In this way, the death and disappearance of local city gods are no longer a big deal to the rulers above. No wonder they have been standing by.

However, he is of low position and light words, and he can't manage such big things at all. Since the sky has collapsed, let those who are tall above support it. I just need to protect the creatures under my jurisdiction.

No wonder Guangwang Shenjun values me so much. It must be because I am the one who didn't die. Sometimes it's not that you have great ability, but that you live long enough! After all, so many city gods have hung up, and only I am still alive and kicking. If he doesn't value me, who does he value?

Although he mocked himself like this, Su Yuanshan didn't really think that was the case.

He even understood a little why Guangwang Shenjun wanted to push him out to marry Dongting Longjun—nothing else, to strengthen his own forces and improve his self-protection ability.

If I'm not mistaken, Fengdu Luoshan Baisi has not broken away from the control of the Heavenly Court and still belongs to the Heavenly Court camp. To put it bluntly, it is the orthodox lineage, but the control has been weakened.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can be freer, and the disadvantage is that if you encounter a crisis, it is difficult to ask for reinforcements from the Heavenly Court.

He looked up at the direction the Sun-Roaming God left and sighed slightly. Tushan County! A mess, no wonder it was assigned to me.

Because he killed the centipede spirit, one of Baie Hou's three blood slaves, Su Yuanshan judged that Baie Hou would definitely not be able to swallow this breath and would probably retaliate, but the possibility of coming in person is not high.
